hey guys Austin and today I'm here with an unboxing of something just a little different so right here I have a brand new Nintendo Game Boy Color this is still in the original packaging still got the factory seal this thing is basically as if I would have bought it you know 15 years ago so as a lot of you guys will probably know earlier this year I had a pretty major fire at my place lost a lot of my stuff including my entire Gameboy collection so I know it sounds silly but the game boys were one of the things that I was most sentimental about I guess so you know I grew up with these things in fact I got a Game Boy Color just like this when I was six years old I had it in Kiwi I can't tell you how many times you have took this on like road trips and we were sneaking this to school everyone went around the back of the school after lunch and you know traded Pokemon and battle and all that kind of stuff so when I saw this I was able to track this down I could not resist this thing is just insanely clean I mean I've seen brand new boxes that don't look half as nice as this so I'm gonna do something that makes me a little it makes me cringe with it inside I feel like I'm like ruining some precious artifacts but I'm going to unbox this and free this Gameboy from 15 year old prison alright so here goes nothing so just see you on top and bottom and go to the top one and like a lie I don't think I've ever been this nervous for an unboxing I mean usually the stuff I unboxing I just go down you know something goes horribly wrong worst case scenario we know there's you know million more the store but I don't think I'm gonna find to me brand new gameboy color so here we go oh oh I'm serious I've never been this nervous for a video and there it is let's open this thing up so I've gotten I got a lie I haven't done this unboxing before but it was like 106 so I don't really remember what's inside I'm also curious to see how actually held up so already make sure seeing whoa okay so apparently 15 year-old batteries not a great thing to keep oh okay that's not good you're gonna okay yeah so um I don't touch that that's yeah all right ah I may need to get something all right so get my table a little bit cleaner here and I don't think there's really anything left with these batteries but it's kind of crazy I've never seen a battery this old cell corroded the whole packaging in the little shells all falling apart you make through the plastic so set that down before I get some horrible chemical on my hands actually you can see I know you might not be able to see but the box is a little bit chewed up actually from that whoo now I'm even more nervous that it like got to the Gameboy or something all right looks like the Gameboy was sealed in plastic and oh haha oh here we go the gameboy color so there's like tons of cardboard and everything around but oh I can't I feel like I'm 6 years old again I really do this is it's perfect this is completely brand new it doesn't look like oh look the labels wow that's crazy I remember mine I mean I try to take good care of it you know if the labels were all worn it was all scratched up this is perfect that's pretty new it's that I figure what to say right now this is Wow set that aside and see what else we get in the box so we've got a little bit of paperwork in here I'm trying to be super gentle with this box although I'm kind of regen it just more and more this cardboard okay so instead of a mess here so we have the king boy consumer information and precautions booklet do not leave batteries in the Game Boy or accessory for long periods of non-use yeah like you know 15 years in the box let's find out a good idea so that aside unless we have who the Game Boy Color registration card Wow but what systems do you or others in your household own NES Game Boy Game Boy pocket Super NES Nintendo 64 Atari Jaguar Sega Genesis Wow they've got the old school stuff here if you guys make sense means here you know what no postage necessary I wonder my still sin the sin but let me Tendo know how how satisfied I am with the Game Boy Color let's see what else is good here we've got the Game Boy Color instruction booklet Wow okay first thing I'm noticing this is tiny this is what one piece of paper yeah this is this is one piece paper this is all the instructions you need for your Game Boy I feel like wow I feel like this is not something we see anymore let's see here I'll even have wow I didn't remember this changing the screen color on original Gameboy game packs so actually have all the codes you need to make the older Game Boy games because the Game Boy Color would run not only Game Boy Color games but also the original games you could actually load in different color palettes so some games for example the original Pokemon games would actually have some color on the Game Boy Color so wow I just got a I just gotta take a minute just just take this in this is buttons oh that clicking if you hear that ah wow this is I don't even know to say right now this is perfect like just it's weird to see something that's old not I mean obviously this is maybe what fifteen years old something like that it's not really that old but it's weird to see something like this that's brand new I mean even things have been nice to taken care of you see things like you know the labels wearing little scuff scratches that kind of stuff but I mean this is perfect in every sense of the word not something I usually do that's the thing I probably will be doing anytime soon but there you go guys the unboxing of the Game Boy Color from 1998
